Financial experts are advising consumers to start their Christmas shopping early due to increasing costs on popular toys caused by President Trump’s tariffs. With 75% of toys imported from China facing a 30% tariff, prices for items like dolls and games have risen over 2%. Supply chain experts warn that not only will prices be higher, but there will also be less variety and availability of products this year. Shoppers are encouraged to buy early rather than waiting for sales, as the specific items they want may not be available closer to the holiday season.
